Who we are

We are the first innovation centre for circular economy in Europe

We stay ahead of the future to transform the present

TheCircularLab is an open innovation space where the most innovative future solutions related to waste circularity are tested, experimented on and developed.

We are the environment

We are part of Ecoembes, an organisation that has been protecting the environment through packaging recycling in Spain for over 25 years, and we rely on innovation to achieve our goal of building a waste-free future.
